Two men who were with a Berks County woman before she went missing and was found dead in Lancaster County have been charged with stabbing her to death and setting her on fire, state police said Thursday.

Ashley Kline, 23, of Robesonia, a small borough about 13 miles west of Reading, was reported missing to police on New Year's Day by her father.

She was last seen leaving their house about 11 p.m. Dec. 30 with the two men who've been charged with homicide in her death.

Adam Lynch, 21, of Reading, and Ryan Schannauer, 19, of Wyomissing, are in custody in Lancaster County.

They allegedly drove Kline to the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, where her body was found. As they walked toward the woods, Kline struggled with the men who stabbed her multiple times, doused her in gasoline and set her on fire, according to a news release from state police.

The Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department said two people discovered her body along Laurel Drive in Clay Township.
